Not all chairmats are the same. That probably sound pretty obvious, but our experience over more than 20 years shows that their is a growing frustration with chairmats cracking soon after purchase mainly due to an inappropriate choice of mat.

This usually occurs for 3 reasons.

1) The purchaser doesn’t know or understand the differences between various chairmats.

2) The seller doesn’t take the time to ask the right questions.

and

3) Assuming 1 & 2 are correct then the only criterea left to make a decision is price. But the cheapest may or may not be the best and most appropriate choice. Particularly if there are OH&S considerations.

This guide will hopefully put you on the track to choosing the most appropriate chairmat for your office. Of course, should you have any further queries or feedback, feel free to contact our customer service team on 03 9459 6666.

Before choosing a chairmat for your office.it is important to follow these steps

1) The Pin Test Most quality chairmats will have a carpet & underlay thickness rating. The Pin Test will have you well on the way to a crack-free chairmat.

Push a pin firmly into the carpet and underlay until you are unable to push any further. Mark the pin with a marker where the pin meets the top of the carpet. Remove the pin and measure the distance between the tip of the pin and your mark. This will give you the thickness of the carpet and underlay. 2) Now Select the chairmat that is specifically designed for your carpet and underlay thickness. This is important. If you use a low pile chairmat (6mm thickness or less) on a high pile carpet, your mat will crack and may not be covered by the manufacturers warranty.
